I am consistently amazed that Midwesterners with conservative "don't screw with me and I won't screw with you" values would be so willingly ****ed over by a bunch of rich ass mother****ers in New York.

For **** sake, farmers in the heartland, ranchers in Texas, and hunters everywhere should know what real food looks and tastes like. Why on earth vilify a guy whose sole message is "your kids should be protected from assholes who want to sell them poison."

And the BEST part is these guys who, in the same breath, defend McDonald's for turning a massive profit, yet dismiss Jamie Oliver for also doing so.

I think most of the aversion to "pink slime" is because there was a photo circulating on the internet that made it look gross. Well, it just looks like ground beef that's more finely ground.

What did people think McNuggets were made from? Like there is a pile of chicken breasts in the dumpster with little mcnugget-shaped holes in them? You're eating fast food. It's crap. If you don't want crap then don't eat fast food. If you don't eat fast food then who cares about this.

Anyway, ammonia is all over your house. It's used to treat wood, it's in the cleaning chemicals you buy or in the chemicals that are cleaned other places you go. It's all over the environment. It's Nitrogen and Hydrogen.

If less people eat McDonald's because they are disgusted by it, then yes, it is good for society. If it encourages people to think extra about the kind of meat they buy, then yes, it's very good for society.

Pink slime or no, McDonald's is bad for you. And collectively, our shit ass food is leading us to an obesity epidemic. People have the right to eat disgusting food if they want to. They also have a right to know exactly what they're eating.

I think it's a little excessive to simply say McDonalds is bad for you. There are plenty of healthy options and food that isn't processed to hell and back. The problem arises when people make McDonalds a frequent part of their routine diet, or gorge themselves on 8000 calories worth of McD's at one sitting. People with that behavior are what's leading us to an obesity epidemic. McD's is just their convenient cheap poison of choice. If we banned McD's, they'd simply take their obesity problem across the street to BK or Wendy's.

Junk food once in a while isn't going to trash your health if you have an overall healthy diet.

We'd do a hell of a lot better reducing this country's fat ass if they outlawed soft drinks, if we just want to be nazis about it.

I don't think it's excessive. Because even the good options tend to be unhealthy. It's the Panera effect. People think they're eating healthy because they ordered less greasy coldcuts in a sandwich.

Because everything is McDonald's. And most consumers have no idea what they are putting into their bodies, and are often tricked into eating unhealthy stuff they thought was healthy. So i don't have a problem with watchdogs raising awareness of this kind of stuff, especially since McDonald's made a conscious decision to introduce unnatural ingredients into ordinary food in order to save cost. In general, that whole idea of valuing cost effective mass production over natural food is the main reason we have this obesity problem to begin with.

So just lie to people because you know what is best for them moreso than they do. Excellent plan.

This thread amazes me like almost all threads related to our health. I don't care what any of you want to friggen eat or how many of you want to go to McDonalds irregardless of what I think of them. I am for informing the consumer. GMO's should be labeled. Organic food should be labeled. If you are using fillers it should be labeled. What is it about large percentage of you that want to deny the consumer this very basic right considering they are ingesting it? Is there any other part of the consumer world where you would believe misleading the consumer or denying them the right to know exactly what they are purchasing is valid? This is really a no brainer to me.
